18 Weeks



 Current Update:

I'm sore.  Just achy all over.  Not sure if I'm coming down with a cold or I'm just growing.

Weight:  A pound or two.  The only upside to having no appetite while pregnant.
Kidding.  Kidding.
I have to force down a carnation instant breakfast every morning and I struggle to eat throughout the day.  Dinner time is the worst. :(

Stretch marks: Nope
I swear by Burts Bees Mama Bee Belly Butter.  Smells amazing and is super hydrating.

Sleep: Still an early bedtime and naps on the weekend.

Gender: A surprise!

Movement: Wiggling and kicking/punching.

Best moment this week: Coming home to my baby after a week.  His 20 minute hug and 100 kisses when I walked in the door were the highlight of my year.

Looking forward to: Christmas!

Food cravings:  Cold water and carbs.  I'm still not able to eat much.

What I miss: Sleeping on my belly.

Symptoms: Bump.  Sore boobs.  Constantly needing to pee!  

Workouts: Light weights, lots of squats.

Things that suck: Headaches.  This started after coming home from Hawaii and I'm thinking it's due to altitude and needing to drink more water.

Things that don't suck: Feeling the baby move!  GAH!  I love it so much!!

Hawaii Recap

  To be totally honest, our trip wasn't the best.

We spent too much time driving around in the Jeep to not spend any real time at the destination we got too.

We spent the first three days dealing with dumb drama back home (it had to be dealt with, our kid was being impacted.)  That ruined the first half of the trip for me.  We did learn that we can never leave #wiggydiggy behind again.  We'll bring him and, most likely, my mother along.

Now - #wiggydiggy did AWESOME with us gone.  He told his MeMaw (my mom) every morning that 'Mama and Daddy are on a trip and I'm home with you!'.  My mom said he never cried and was happy the whole week.


Back to Hawaii.

It was colder than I expected.  I wish I had packed more pants and a good light jacket/sweatshirt.

Laying out in the sun was nice, because it never got over 79 the whole time we were there.

I still can't get over the stunning views.  One direction was gorgeous blue ocean and the other was lush green mountains.

The humidity level was perfect.  Coming home to dry Montana (ugh, this place is the WORST) was actually painful.  My skin hurts :(

















There are chicken everywhere.  And by chickens - I also mean Roosters.  You could hear them crowing all day long no matter where you were.

If you've ever watch Moana, you know about Hehe.  The scene where he freaks out on the raft in the ocean?  #wiggydiggy's favorite part.  Justin and I would crack up every time one crowed!  Haha.

17 Weeks

  

Island hair and no make-up.  Ah, I miss the humidity.


Current Update:

My due date has been pushed back a few days (considering it changed three time with #wiggydiggy, this does not surprise me at all).  I have no clue how their whole system works, but hey, at least it's within the same week!

Weight:  No change

Stretch marks: Nope

Sleep: I still want my bedtime at 7PM, haha.  I'm sleeping good through the night but I'm waking before my alarm every morning.

Gender: A surprise!

Movement: YES!!  Baby is shifting all around and I love feeling the movement.  Justin can feel baby at night when I lie down and they push against his hand. 

Best moment this week: HAWAII!

Looking forward to: Christmas!

Food cravings:  Cold water.

What I miss: A nice frozen cocktail would be delicious right about now....

Symptoms: Bump.  Tired.  So far that's it.

Workouts: Light weights, lots of squats.

Things that suck: Fewer of my clothes are fitting.  Boo.

Things that don't suck: Feeling the baby move!  GAH!  I love it so much!!
